And Yet Another Odd Tip to improve your game: I know, I really must get a grip, so to speak
So, about a year ago, I was hitting drivers better than I ever had. Not particularly long, given my medical limitations, but straight and on the button just about every time. Of course, as often happens with this game, the success waned and I started in trying new things and quite quickly the divil got […]
Possibly the Oddest Golf Tip I’ve Ever Given
So, I’m at the range the other day trying to figure out what to do with my swing that’s been driving me nuts lately, and I stumbled upon something that shocked the shit out of me. I finally realized that my swing is not the problem and never has been. You see, for a long […]

A most amazing golf shot heard, and seen, round the world
I don’t know about you but the last time I was in a fairway bunker with 160 yards to the green (at Pacific Dunes), I was thinking more about just getting out than reaching the green. But when England’s Matt Fitzpatrick found himself in this situation on the last hole of the 2022 U.S. Open […]
